We're closing in the land around our original nursery site in Cavaillon. This location offers an older nursery setting that is being reborn for the first time since Hurricane Matthew wiped it out in 2018. We've added more land, a house/depo, and a deep-water well to water trees year-round and for the whole community to have access to water.
Luckily, like LaSikri, this site is well shaded, so there's no need to invest in costly greenhouse infrastructure. The trees in Cavaillon, many of which are wide-reaching mangos, protect new seedlings from hard rain and excessive sunlight. And with the new fence, we'll be able to keep out grazing livestock that may wander over from our neighbors' lands
